Honoring Veterans Day at Affirm
As we approach Veterans Day in the U.S., the team at Affirm will come together to express our deep gratitude and sincere appreciation to Veterans for their brave and selfless service. The Veterans@ Employee Resource Group (ERG) is focused on helping Veterans transition into civilian life through meaningful employment. We partner with world class organizations, such as BreakLine, to focus on hiring Veterans and empowering them to succeed.
The Veterans@ ERG at Affirm is fortunate to be able to host a variety of speakers to share their experiences of what service and sacrifice mean. In the past, we’ve had Medal of Honor recipients, as well as distinguished service members, speak to the company about their experiences, all the while imparting important lessons about resiliency and overcoming life's toughest challenges.
For this Veterans Day, we’ve encouraged our members to take Veterans Day off. Affirm offers an annual volunteer day, and our members can use that time to invest in their communities and causes important to them. Several of our members are attending Veterans Day events at their local schools and in their local communities.?
We offer our heartfelt thanks to everyone, including Affirmers, who have ever served. Thank you for answering the call of duty; thank you for your gallant courage; and thank you for the extraordinary sacrifices you and your families have made on our behalf in the name of freedom, liberty, and peace.?
In solidarity,
Veterans@ Affirm
